C64MidRezzie Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 Hi - I am trying to rebuild an xbox hard drive - I have the eeprom - a meant gave me an old Dell IDE drive - I know HDM v. 1.9 will work on it as I used it a few years ago. Does anyone know where I can get the C and E drive files for the rebuild? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acidmank Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Do you have any of the Tools Discs? Quite a few of them have the files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 The stock MS dashboard 5960 files are on the HeXEn 2018 disc under the StockFiles/c folder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C64MidRezzie Posted May 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Okay so this morning I got HDM 1.9 working on an old PC - I need to backup and transfer my eeprom later - I notice when I look in the HDM folder right now that the C and E folders are empty - is that normal? Remember this is before I turn it into an ISO - Do these folders fill up with contents once the program is running and the hard drive is attached to the PC? Prob a stupid question but it's so long since I used this method that I can't remember. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you have to add the content you want to be copied to the Xbox HDD. For example, the 5960 MS dashboard files into the hdm\C folder. With E left empty, XboxHDM will create empty E:\UDATA and E:\TDATA folders on the hard drive. But, it you have game saves and/or apps you want to be preloaded add them into hdm\E. The amount of content that can be added in total to the C and E folders of XboxHDM is limited to 528MBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - do you know where I could download the C folder files? Could I transfer the C drive contents over FTP - I'm happy to do this but I'd prefer a fresh start as I'm sure I'd probably be copying over things I don't need from my current xbox drive.

KaosEngineer Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 HeXEn 2018 disk - folder StockFiles\c - extract the contents of the XISO image with Qwix or Clean_C_and_E_Files_for_Xbox.7z or many other locations that have a copy of the 5960 MS dashboard available online. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi - thanks a million for the advice I got the clean C and E files - I'm off to prepare the HDM disk now - thanks again!

Disk is made - I'm guessing I'll have to re-softmod it - I want to use a more up to date softmod like Rocky 5 anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C64MidRezzie Posted May 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Okay so I used HDM V 1.9 and now have a 40GB hard drive that works in my xbox - since I did a clean install - it appears to be a stock drive and the extra space doesn't appear. I'm going to use Rocky 5 softmod - will the extra space show up then or do I need to do something else to get full access to the new hard drive? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Yes, nothing else to do. Until the console is modded and a replacement dashboard is installed, the MS dashboard will look no different. It does not use the additional space. Has not access to it. The replacement dashboard installed by Rocky5's Xbox SoftmoddingTool - UnleashX - will be able to access the additional storage space.

Finally, a working link to some clean hard drive files. Thank you very much. Edited June 5, 2019 by Dillw33d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
